Chatel DS Log Cabin

Note :

1. Log ends are now all square cut with no chamfer
2. Solid wall boards machined from graded timber stock with no finger joints

All our doors and windows can be supplied as "plain" glass, ie with no Georgian bars. The additional charge for this is £220.00 per cabin

We offer you the option to have toughened glass installed into the fully glazed double doors.

All windows and single door units are pre-mounted in their frame. The frame sits in the wall opening and the framing boards then "sandwich" the frame to hold it in position - this allows the wall logs to move independently of the frame. Double doors work in the same way, but you are required to put the pre-cut frame together and screw the corners to hold it together.

Type - 30/40. 70m long

Note - some boards may be finger jointed

Note - Only supplied with 44 and 68mm cabins

Tidies up the join between roof boards and walls

Your kit will come with two sets of instructions :

EPDM Features and Benefits

• Firestone E.P.D.M is a high performing synthetic rubber membrane offering a unique combination of features and benefits.
• Quick and Easy Installation - Available in large sheet sizes anything up to 12.5m x 30m, resulting in fewer field seams and less installation time.

We are currently using Barrattine Wood Preserver to treat the external surfaces of the log cabins. We have been impressed with its properties not least the fact that it is oil based and has a number of colour options, including clear. For this cabin, we calculate you will need a total of 21 litres to apply a minimum of two coats to the external surfaces. We can supply this at a cost of £123.00

The colour swatches are an indication only and representative of the product applied to clean new/pale timber. The final colour finish can vary considerably due to the age, type & condition of the timber being treated. We always recommend carrying out a test area first in an inconspicuous area to make sure you are happy with the final dried colour.

Barrettine wood preserver is used for wood protection against wood destroying fungi (wet rot), wood discolouring fungi and wood boring insects. Provides a semi-transparent matt/satin finish allowing the natural wood texture to be visible. Can be used on pressure treated wood, treated timber or untreated wood.
